After playing for a while with the set, I decided to use gold and holo cards to make the split heart pendants.

I wanted to make them look like the real thing but you can use any color you like.

I die cut the "jump rings" shapes. These need to adhere at the back of each half heart because they have a slit and they will fall down if they are not stuck in place.

To secure the jump rings you can also glue a background piece behind each heart half using a good quality liquid glue.

Less is More

I was very tempted to only use a plain white card base and stick the golden die cuts over. The cards looked enough good for me in that way. seriously you won't need to do anything else!!

A few months ago I found a huge card shop in London and handmade cards were not as elaborated. They were rather simple and they were very beautiful and appealing... Arg is a shame I don't remember the name of the shop, I just walked in by accident while waiting for a 5 hours flight connection.

The hand made cards on display made me think that I don't always need to spend loads of time and supplies to enjoy crafting!

So I wanted to put this new idea in practice and my latest cards as been ridiculously simple.

However, as part of me is still attached to "more is more". I decided to add a foiled paper background panel.

Interactive Split Hearts

OK so to add a little extra, I used a piece of washi tape to secure the two heart halves together and also to temporarily adhere them to the background.

Once the pieces were in place, I only adhered the necklace or chain to the background panel using Nuvo deluxe adhesive.

I allowed the adhesive to dry and I removed the washi tape.

Voila!! the pendant moves and splits when moving the cards.

I know this is a very simple and minimalistic idea BUT I think it adds a lot of fun to these very simple cards.
